Great Discoveries of the Month

January has so far been a great month for discovering fantastic tools on the internet - mainly because I finally started using Stumble Upon properly.

1. I first have to mention a company called Carbonite who provide a great online backup service. Carbonite is really simple to instal and use. It takes a couple of days to complete the initial back up but after that is a dream to use. Whats more its a fraction of the cost of my previous back up solution.
2. Take a look at this SEO tool from Quinu - its got everything including the kitchen sink. What I like about thids tool is that it provides data on Back Links, Indexed Pages and Social Bookmarkinig all in one page.
3. Next ever want a temporary email address try Guerilla Mail which gives you an email that lasts 15 minutes - what a great idea.
4. This is an old one but I've just started using it - http://tinyurl.com/ which is so useful particularly for printed material.
5. Compete - I've known about Compete for sometime but I must have been on vacation whne they launched their Search Analytics service. Compete Search Analytics provides you with the most common keywords used to find a site as well as the domains that are most commonly found against your choosen keyword. It provides the sort of information you get from Hitwise but is affordable to the smaller company.

Well thats all folks.
